Jorge Garcia gave a small but memorable performance alongside Larry David in one of Curb Your Enthusiasm’s most hilarious episodes. Garcia first rose to prominence as an actor with the role of Hector Lopez in 13 episodes of the Ted Danson sitcom Becker. A few months later, he earned the biggest role of his career as part of the sprawling ensemble of the sci-fi survival drama series Lost. Garcia’s character, lottery winner Hugo “Hurley” Reyes, instantly became a fan-favorite and remained in the main cast right up to the polarizing series finale. But it might not have happened if not for Garcia’s role on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
